DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Sydney's premier party precinct, this neighbourhood has stacks of bars ranging from snug locals to superslick pos-
ing palaces to raucous booze barns. Kings Cross is the destination of choice for suburban party kids, glamming it
up for a night on the tiles. On Friday and Saturday nights the streets can resemble a war zone; it's best to keep
your wits about you and enough sobriety to avoid trouble if it looms.
Kings Cross
PUB, LIVE MUSIC
KINGS CROSS HOTEL
With five floors above ground and one below, this grand old pub is a hive of boozy enter-
tainment which positively swarms on weekends. Best of all is FBi Social, an alternative ra-
dio station-led takeover of the 2nd floor, bringing with it an edgy roster of live music. The
roof bar has DJs on weekends and awesome city views.
SUGARMILL
BAR
Kings Cross bar, Sugarmill is actually pretty cool. Columns and high pressed-tin ceilings
hint at its bankery past, while the band posters plastered everywhere do their best to dispel
any lingering capitalist vibes. Cheapskates feast on cheap steaks daily, while on Friday
nights a hip dude with a guitar duels with TV sports.
WORLD BAR
World Bar (a reformed bordello) is an unpretentious grungy club with three floors to lure
the backpackers and cheap drinks to loosen things up. DJs play indie, hip hop, power pop
and house nightly. Propaganda (indie classics, new and used) on Thursday is a sure-fire
head start to your weekend. Live bands on Friday.
